I'm on one of the G35 forums and was looking for possible mods and noticed one being a grounding kit. Its amazing how much these sell for, approx $130 for 8 awg and you must do it yourself. I found someone locally who uses the wire he gets and installs it for $150, still a bit much, but it involves 10 or 11 grounding points.
I know the concept is the EXACT same thing as the Big 3, but there are more points, such as the ECU and the transmission, which helps with the auto trannies like I have when using Manumatic mode.
I just can't justify paying someone $150 for wire that I don't even know what brand it is and it's strand count and unfortunately they won't let me use my wire nor, my tinned copper lugs. Wish the guy would just let me use my Kicker 4 awg and charge me for labor, which I don't mind paying $50 or even $60 for (only takes about 1 hour to do so that's a good labor rate right there).
It's funny though, some people seem to think it adds horsepower and Stillen claims that you will lose horsepower and torque if you don't use theirs. I didn't know adding wires would do that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
